Taking Action
The first thing that happened was my scheduled flight got cancelled. I had to pay $2K more to rebook a flight. Secondly, we were flying from the Azores to the USA. We changed the return flights Executive Business Class had reserved. We did some calculations and research and realized there was no way we could make our connecting flight in Paris as it had been set up. There just was literally not enough time to land, collect our luggage, pass thru customs, ride the tram from terminal 1 to 2E, check our luggage back in at the airline counter 60 minutes prior to the flight, go thru security and make it to our gate for departure. 2hours and 25minutes was not enough time to accomplish the plane change. Also I needed a wheelchair because I cannot walk quickly. My slow pace would have hindered the process even more. I had to settle for economy instead of business class on the long flight from Paris to Seattle. I also had to rent a hotel room in Paris to accommodate my changed flights. When I requested a wheelchair on a previous email, I received no notice that the flight had been canceled. Through all of these issues, it doesn't even take into account the extra money my sister had to pay to get a corrected flight home. If we had not taken action we would have been stuck in Paris and considered a "no show" when we missed our flight per the airline's representative. Considering the lack of action from your company, I am giving your company a poor rating.
